That is good news! Congratulations. Back in revenue service soon. Nice to hear that the effort to repair her is successful.
Congrats. All the hard work is about to put a fine lady back on the rails.
A big "Hats offs" to all those people that volunteer and put in hard work so we all can enjoy those "smoking behemoths" - keeping alive a legacy that helped build this great country!

Great news!
